Antique Garden Tavern - Windows and Vintage Shop Signs

From a shooting angle perspective, the photographer positions themselves at a diagonal rear position to the subject. The mirror’s reflection captures the subject’s front-facing actions, creating a unique spatial relationship. The composition technique employs symmetrical framing, with the mirror’s central axis serving as the axis of symmetry, where the subject and the surrounding environment are symmetrically distributed, enhancing the neatness of the image. Additionally, the use of frame-within-a-frame composition, with the mirror’s frame enclosing the subject, helps to focus on the main subject. A medium telephoto lens is used to compress the space and blur the background, highlighting the subject and the reflected image within the mirror, allowing for clear capture of details. 1.
